Nissan vs. Behr Radiator
Anyone have experience using Nissan radiator vs. a Behr.
Price difference was substantial, and I was told that quality was equal. This would be going into a 16V 190E Thanks, Bob |
Due to a small accident with a truck's hitch, we had to replace the radiator in my wife's TD. I went with a Nissen (made in Demark) radiator. That was last year, have had not problems since.

Nissen is very good quality - some think higher than Behr South Africa.
|
Behr is the OE radiator so they must be pretty good. Do the Nissens have the metal sleeves in the necks?
If I were planning on keeping the car I would buy the Behr. |
How much are the BEHR and Nissen radiators for your car? Could this be another option? Click on the following link and then Catalog and then Radiators. :

The Nissen was $185 locally. The Behr was $250 locally, $155 on ebay (buy it now) with a $25 shipping fee. The price for the Behr at the dealer is $450.
The parts side of this website had the Behr at $330 I think. That link for the Evans product - I didn't see a radiator for less than $250, though it was not easy to navigate. Bob |
There seems to be a quality difference between Behr Germany and Behr South Africa - both of which are available on the aftermarket.
|
using Nissens 3 yrs now.perfect fit.
